She stands outside the convenience store
always with a big smile on her sweet face
she offers sweets to the passers bys
with a twinkle in her piercing green eyes

I always stop to have a chat with her
and inevitably you end up with a sweet
that girls out here in all weathers
giving her yum yums away on the street

I call her my sweet yum yum girl
and now that name sticky sticks
five minutes of chat is enough with her
as too many sweets shoved in your mouth
boy oh boy, can that make you sick
